The Secret place & the Power of the Word

Travail in prayer

Prolonged intercessory prayer often prepares the way for God to intervene miraculously by performing miracles in our lives. Such prayer involves spiritual warfare against the powers of darkness. We are not always aware of the spiritual battles taking place in the supernatural realm, and these battles often manifest themselves through interference with our prayers, preventing some of our prayers from being answered. Persistent faith is also important in such situations (Luke 18:1–8).

Listening to preaching about the power of God is a very effective tool. It gives us the ability to exercise authority, overcome, and prevail over demons, adversities, and all the negative circumstances of life. When you believe what the Word of God says, that is when the miracle takes place.

Keep this in mind, God is raising up a generation today that knows how to manifest victory from the secret place, rather than one that only wants to act in public. If you want to become an instrument of healing, deliverance, and blessing, learn to humble yourself before God in secret.

Jesus had a habit of praying every night on the mountain before performing miracles during the day. The power of miracles is manifested according to the authority upon the person who declares the Word of God. This authority comes from the level of faith, devotion to prayer, and a life of sanctification.

Here is the secret: A deliverance service that would normally take two hours can take only two minutes if you commit it to God during two hours of secret prayer.

Keep this in mind: What made Moses' Tabernacle significant was not merely the Tabernacle itself—that is, the Tent of Meeting—but the furnishings and vessels that were inside it. It was because of these vessels that the glory coming from the cloud descended upon the Tabernacle. What does this mean? It means that if you take care of what is inside you, God will cause it to be revealed publicly, because He is the God who hears our prayers in the secret place and manifests our answers publicly.

Matthew 6:5-6 says:

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you".

A true Christian life begins in the upper room and continues in the secret place. 

You cannot move away from the presence of God, just as a salmon can never forget the waters where it was born, because without them, it cannot live. Dear friends, without the presence of God, we are nothing in this world.

May God help us to remain continually in His presence in order to receive more blessings and victories.

 

Declare the Word of God Over Your Situation

Declaring the powerful Word of God can change the spiritual atmosphere governing our situation. This is a good reason to speak the Word of God in the face of all kinds of negative and threatening circumstances. To do this, however, we must first believe that the Word of God can speak to and establish matters concerning the circumstances of our lives. Secondly, we need to know the relevant Scriptures that apply to our particular situation.

Knowing that “death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21), we must believe that we can have what we say when our words are aligned with the will of God, which is revealed in His Word.

The Word of God that comes out of our mouths carries creative power. God used His Word to create the universe. We should also use our words continually to influence our world.

Since God desires to see us in good health, we should speak words of life over our bodies and our circumstances, rather than words of defeat and discouragement.

A Prophetic Word for Your Life

Thus says the Lord:

“Behold, because you have kept My word and have not denied My name, I have set before you an open door that no one can shut. A door of blessing and not of misfortune.

Behold, I am making all things new in your life. Everything that was impossible will become possible. Behold, I will heal you from all your diseases and make you prosperous in the land that I have given you, for I am the LORD your God, the One who speaks a thing and it comes to pass!

I am with you, and I will cause you to triumph over your enemies. I will send your enemies away, and they will bow down before you and acknowledge that I have loved you.

My beloved, this is your season. You must believe. Do not give up, for your victory is near!”
